I've been trying to find a book and hopefully one of you can point
me to where I can get a copy. I've been googling, used a number of
other searches, checking evry on-line book seller I can come up with,
including Amazon, also eBay. With zero results so far.

The title is: Single Shot Actions - Their Design And Construction,
and written by Frank and Mark de Haas, published around 1986 I believe.

I've pretty much ran out of ideas where to look. So thought I'd
ask here. I'll keep on looking, of course. Any help in this will be
greatly appreciated. I'll put in a good word with the Woodworking Gods
for you too, because there'll be stocks and forarms made out of wood.

I've tracked down book before, including a few with limited
printing, much more limited than this one I believe, with o real problem
- just that often most sellers were wanting way more than I was willing
to pay. But thru perseverance I was able to get copies at reasonable
prices. This one I can't even find any, period.

If you're gonna reply, please snip raher than copying the whole
thing.

This is one time I've willing to have you e-mail me, IF you have an
actual lead. Otherwise, either reply on-line, or not at all. Thanks.

Hi JOAT,
Well, the title match isn't exact, but the most of the words match, the
author matches, and the publication date matches:

Try this:

http://www.directtextbook.com/editio...e-shot-rifles-
and-actions

There seems to be a number of different editions and the title looks like
maybe it morphs now and then. I checked the first one on the list and
Amazon has it.

something like 13,000 bookstores selling a hundred million books or
something. I've found a lot of oddball stuff through them.

Have you tried contacting Mark de Haas directly? There's a phone number
listed at http://dehaas.com/guns/.

The Library of Congress Online Catalog doesn't have a listing--it has 8
books by Frank de Haas, 1 by Mark de Haas, and 1 with both listed as
coathors, but none of them have the title you indicate, nor to they seem
to have _any_ book by that title. That suggests that it was never

Hah! All that looking and I never found a websie. I'll give that
a shot. Thanks.

In the inside front of the book, Mr. Single-Shot's Book Of Rifle
Plans, by Frank and Mark de Haas, it lists the book, and credits his son
Mark as co-author. I've also seen rereferences to it, with quotes from
it, in various forums, so I'm sure it was in fact published. The Book
Of Plans was published by de Haas Books, so I'd been thinking it'd
probably been published by them also.

I'll try the website, and I'll let you all know the results.
Thanks.

Here's an outfit that claims to have one (Item #72 on the page), limited
edition #300 of 2000 copies printed, signed by the authors, for 150
bucks. If there were only 2000 printed that might explain why it's hard
to find.

Seems to have been published by a Bible publisher of all things, which
might explain why it managed to not get into the LOC.

I once worked with a guy who had worked for a publishing company.
They frequently printed religious material - and also Playboy magazine.

They can replace dogwoods now?

I've got a couple of feelers out for this book, but about given up.
Instead I think I'll buy a couple of other books that I don't have.

Ah, that reminds me. Had to make the trek to Raleigh today to
visit an eyeball doctor. On the way back stopped in at my favorite used
bookstore. Loads of books that'd answer a lot of questions some of you
guys have been asking. Books on finishing, refinishing, weekend
projects, tools, and what all. I didn't need any of that ilk, but did
pick up a neat book on making wooden decoys. I suppose you could call
it a pukey duck instruction book. Some of you guys really need to visit
a few used bookstores. The books whee I go usually range somewhere from
about $1 to about $7 a book. Well worth it in most cases.
